Brian's Story
Since the reunion last year (that I wasn't able to attend), I've been more than happy to have heard from some of my old friends. Thanks to everyone who has written! You've all helped bring back a lot of great memories.
Well, after making so many friends at Park (Kindergarten through third grade), Crestwood (third through sixth), then having everyone together in Jr. High, I followed my brothers by attending St. John's High School. I made a few friends there, but most of who I would consider my best friends are still from Swanton.

Karen and I also had two wonderful children, Joshua and Anna. It's difficult to believe that I'm old enough to have a thirteen year old and a ten year old!
Please write if you can. I'd love to hear from you!
